Traffic redirect forwards traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot connect 
to the Internet. An example is shown in the figure below.

Figure 43   Traffic Redirect Example

The following network topology allows you to avoid triangle route security issues when the 
backup gateway is connected to the LAN. Use IP alias to configure the LAN into two or three 
logical networks with the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each LAN network. Put the 
protected LAN in one subnet (Subnet 1 in the following figure) and the backup gateway in 
another subnet (Subnet 2). Configure filters that allow packets from the protected LAN 
(Subnet 1) to the backup gateway (Subnet 2). 

Maximum Burst

Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be 

sent at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535.
